Recreational dating is dating that’s focused on having fun and getting experiences. Recreational dating is the opposite of aiming at a goal; it’s like shooting at everything. Intentional dating, though, is being purposeful. It’s fun, too, but it preserves purity. Most importantly, it’s driven by a clear goal: to determine whether the person you are dating is right for you to marry. It’s all about moving toward the covenant of marriage, with the right person, in the right way, in the right time.
